Phil Jackson to shop in Boston for Lakers books

Phil Jackson traditionally gives out hand-picked books to his players on the longest trip of the season, which the Lakers are on right now.

But Jackson is a little behind schedule. He said before the second game of the seven-game trip in Memphis on Monday that he hopes to go shopping at bookstores in Boston in the next couple days to keep up with his annual tradition.

Jackson said he wasn't worried about being bothered in there and having his shopping interrupted by Celtics fans.
